and his story of what happened to him.

Crime World
Episode 1360: Havana Syndrome: the mysterious disease targeting the CIA (Part 1)

I mean, he tells a very convincing story, and he is very easily able to kind of tie all the threads of it together in one narrative.

Crime World
Episode 1360: Havana Syndrome: the mysterious disease targeting the CIA (Part 1)

But there is another narrative that sort of sits alongside it, which could also explain what's going on.

Crime World

Paranoia stuff.

Absolutely.

Crime World
Episode 1360: Havana Syndrome: the mysterious disease targeting the CIA (Part 1)

There's the paranoia of the, you know, because there have been some incredible situations that American spies are in in Cuba.

Crime World
Episode 1360: Havana Syndrome: the mysterious disease targeting the CIA (Part 1)

I mean, we sort of think of it as this holiday destination of salsa and, you know, cocktails and, you know, big kind of shows.

But there's...

Crime World
Episode 1360: Havana Syndrome: the mysterious disease targeting the CIA (Part 1)

Whatever you believe on Havana syndrome, and whether there is this sort of sonic weapon or energy ray, the Cuban intelligence do do terrible things to American spies and vice versa, but sort of taping scorpions to the inside of their clothes.

Crime World

They can just take it as a given that they're being recorded all the time, everywhere.

Crime World
Episode 1360: Havana Syndrome: the mysterious disease targeting the CIA (Part 1)

Crime World
Episode 1360: Havana Syndrome: the mysterious disease targeting the CIA (Part 1)

Episode 1360: Havana Syndrome: the mysterious disease targeting the CIA (Part 1)

Crime World
Episode 1360: Havana Syndrome: the mysterious disease targeting the CIA (Part 1)

Yeah, but I think it happens because it's funny, while we were reporting on this story, I know somebody here in Dublin who rented their house out and they rented it out to two people who were working at the American embassy, two Americans.

Crime World
Episode 1360: Havana Syndrome: the mysterious disease targeting the CIA (Part 1)

And the people who owned the house were told they're working at the airport, they're stationed at the American embassy, they're going to be here for a couple of years.
